Offered here is a rare Montgomery Ward Airplane floor console radio from 1936.
I Was able to find the original knobs for this which are in good shape for being 90 years old and they are included with the sale, these knobs were somewhat hard to find.
Montgomery Ward Airline model 62-192 (Antique Radio)Era: Produced around 1935–1936.Design: 12-tube, 3-band shortwave console receiver.
I acquired this from an estate sale some months ago, I have too many antique radios projects right now and don’t have time for this one. This is a rare Montgomery Ward model 62-192 floor console. This radio back in the day 1935 to 1936 was considered their top-of-the-line model for those years. I have not seen another one for sale anywhere and there’s limited information online but they were made between 1935 and 1936 in Chicago. I was told that this was a 1936 model when I obtained it from the original owner.
The overall condition is good for being 90 years old. It will need some restoration. There is some scuffing, scratches, blemishes, etc., on the wood, but overall the body is in pretty good shape for its age. The dial is in beautiful shape and the glass is still nice and intact. I believe the unit it’s made out of walnut with some veneering. It’s a very beautiful radio.
Note: unit will need the electronics to be gone through thoroughly and it’s highly recommended that you get someone who can work on old tube style radios. (Currently it does not work). The electronic chassis in the back looks complete, It just needs to be gone through thoroughly and have all the vacuum tubes, capacitors, etc., replaced or repaired with the right tubes, capacitor, etc., and a knowledgeable radio technician to do it. Again this can be up and running when repaird. Now I want highly stressed that you should go and find a qualified person that works on these old tube radios to get it up and running. You can also convert it to a Bluetooth system which is quite easy and you can run right from your phone should you choose to go that route.
This item is to be picked up only and please bring some help as it’s bulky and heavy.
